Scroll to bottom Creator Topic May 18, 2018 at 8:14 pm #231733 DaveParticipant Who took the picture of young-Rimmer’s dorm room that he uses to go back in time, in Timeslides? And how is adult-Rmmer in possession of it in the future? The more I think about this the more it bothers me.

June 24, 2019 at 12:41 pm #251323 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Why, if there are cinemas on Red Dwarf, and monitors in all of the living spaces, is Lister watching a film in the drive room in Confidence and Paranoia? June 24, 2019 at 1:34 pm #251324 Ben SaundersParticipant I’m only going by the show, but the first crew death doesn’t need to be of old age, although that would be pretty funny, Kryten being assigned to two ships in a row where all of the crew age to death and he doesn’t understand. It would be utterly tragic if he had any concept of death before Rimmer points it out to him June 24, 2019 at 1:36 pm #251325 Ben SaundersParticipant well actually the language Lister uses would make it very strange for both deaths not to have happened in similar fashions, but hey ho. June 24, 2019 at 1:45 pm #251326 Spare Hand OneParticipant Why, if there are cinemas on Red Dwarf, and monitors in all of the living spaces, is Lister watching a film in the drive room in Confidence and Paranoia? I always kinda liked that. It’s a silent and short-hand way of saying that, for better or worse, he has the run of the ship now. Once formal or professional spaces are now stripped of their meaning. June 24, 2019 at 2:24 pm #251327 Ben SaundersParticipant He’s lazy, I couldn’t be arsed going all the way to the cinema every time I wanted to watch something. Plus the drive room is cosy June 24, 2019 at 2:52 pm #251328 DaveParticipant There’s that food machine in the Drive Room (well sometimes, anyway), so if he’s eating and drinking then maybe that’s more convenient. June 24, 2019 at 3:39 pm #251329 Ben SaundersParticipant Given that the Drive Room appears to be modular, it seems like a pretty good place for that kind of stuff June 24, 2019 at 5:26 pm #251330 Pete Part ThreeParticipant He’s watching Netflix. June 28, 2019 at 6:19 am #251495 By Jove its holmesBlocked With the Red Dwarf cinemas, I presume that when the crew was around that a crewmember had to put money/tokens in a machine before a film would be shown. So the Four would have to ask Holly to override the systems in order for a film to be shown for free? June 28, 2019 at 6:51 am #251496 DaveParticipant I presume it was free and on demand like everything else. June 28, 2019 at 11:13 am #251522 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant I presume it was free and on demand like everything else. Which is only the case right up until Officer Rimmer, when suddenly the crew have “tv packages”. If we roll that back and assume it’s always been the case, then it would make sense that Holly overrode everything for Lister post accident. In fact, in Queeg it’s shown that the dispensing machines need credits to use and Holly is responsible for overriding that. If everything was free and on-demand, what would be the point of a cinema at all? Other than the cinema experience I guess. June 28, 2019 at 11:23 am #251523 DaveParticipant Yeah, I was going to mention Queeg – my meaning was that post-accident Holly had made everything free for them, and Queeg makes that pretty clear. Presumably pre-accident it would cost a certain number of credits or dollarpounds. June 28, 2019 at 11:38 am #251524 International DebrisParticipant Mind you, Lister gets a chicken soup without credits or any kind of technician token at the start of The End. June 28, 2019 at 12:05 pm #251525 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant It’s Rimmer that orders it right just after he fixes the machine. Presumably techs get to use the machines for testing as much as is reasonable whilst they’re on duty. June 28, 2019 at 12:32 pm #251526 DaveParticipant I think there’s a Big Finish spinoff in this. June 28, 2019 at 1:02 pm #251527 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Todhunter uncovers an underground black market meal racket, involving technicians ordering food from vending machines whilst on duty, on their duty test system, and re-selling at lower credit prices than the machines usually dispense them for. Hilarity ensues. June 28, 2019 at 1:06 pm #251528 DaveParticipant “THE VEND” June 28, 2019 at 1:08 pm #251529 By Jove its holmesBlocked In MeSquared, there’s an actual sit-down cinema room, and in another episode Kryten indicates to the Cat that that the RD cinema system shows cartoons (Warner Bros.? MGM?) before the movie. June 28, 2019 at 3:37 pm #251530 Ben SaundersParticipant What are they watching on in Holoship? From memory it looks like they’re all just sitting on some boxes or plastic chairs or something in front of a little TV June 28, 2019 at 5:24 pm #251531 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant It’s a little portable TV isn’t it? Like the one they have in the bunk from 3 onwards … because the screen is in totally the wrong place to be useful in the quarters, though good for getting Holly in shot on camera. June 28, 2019 at 5:35 pm #251532 International DebrisParticipant Yeah, portable TV on Starbug. I love the shitty, lo-tech vibe of the BBC era. Get rid of that widescreen shite on the bunkroom walls and bring back this stuff. June 28, 2019 at 5:53 pm #251533 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Same. I like the modern era sets, but the hi-fi tech stuff is too much. The new medi/science room is so flashy Give me grimmy, run down ship with big mechanical keyboards and old CRT monitors Make it look like it has been thrown together out of parts for industrial use June 28, 2019 at 6:20 pm #251534 Ben SaundersParticipant No, don’t June 28, 2019 at 7:14 pm #251535 Ian SymesKeymaster Nah, both the original and the new sets are just adhering to the technological trends of when they were made. Maybe in 30 years time the Dave era will look just as quaint for still using flatscreens instead of whatever we’ve got then. June 28, 2019 at 7:16 pm #251536 RidleyParticipant Cataracts. June 28, 2019 at 7:33 pm #251558 siParticipant Those last two posts present a perfect G&T conversation. June 28, 2019 at 8:32 pm #251563 Pete Part ThreeParticipant What do you guys think of Series VIII? June 28, 2019 at 9:54 pm #251564 Ben SaundersParticipant What’s an iguana? June 28, 2019 at 10:54 pm #251565 HamishParticipant Who’s eating this chicken? June 29, 2019 at 12:47 pm #251566 International DebrisParticipant Why is Lister constantly trying to fuck his mum in VII and VIII? June 29, 2019 at 3:57 pm #251567 Ben SaundersParticipant Incest is fine in the future, partly because medical advancements have removed the possibility of birth defects, and partly because there is (VIII notwithstanding) literally no one else June 29, 2019 at 5:02 pm #251568 By Jove its holmesBlocked Are we sure that the Kanitawowi are not relatives of the Ewoks? they are just as annoying… June 29, 2019 at 5:32 pm #251569 Plastic PercyParticipant I do rather like the VIII sets. They seem to mesh the Ocean Grey and the white plastic of previous years. June 29, 2019 at 5:55 pm #251570 International DebrisParticipant Incest is fine in the future, partly because medical advancements have removed the possibility of birth defects, and partly because there is (VIII notwithstanding) literally no one else You’re saying that, if trapped in the future, with your mum as the only company, you’d lust after her? Is that what you’re saying Ben you filthy mite? June 29, 2019 at 6:55 pm #251571 Ben SaundersParticipant I wouldn’t, no, but I’m not Lister. And I didn’t have a short relationship with my mum and then pine after her unrequitedly for years and years before ever finding out she was my mum in some fucked up sci-fi time shenanigans, either. June 29, 2019 at 9:27 pm #251597 International DebrisParticipant Can you prove it? June 30, 2019 at 11:29 pm #251632 Plastic PercyParticipant In White Hole, why did they send Rimmer – who can’t touch anything – to gather supplies with Kryten? Cat or Lister should have gone, as then they’d be able to bring back twice as many supplies as they do. July 1, 2019 at 3:10 pm #251663 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant I suspect they sent Kryten, but Rimmer went to oversee he did a good job like the sort of petty middle manager that he is. July 1, 2019 at 3:38 pm #251666 DaveParticipant Presumably they needed to concentrate all the key life-support functions for Lister and Cat in a relatively small location. They probably didn’t have enough emergency power to heat the ship throughout the route they would have had to travel on foot to get supplies. July 1, 2019 at 3:43 pm #251667 By Jove its holmesBlocked What does middle manager mean? July 1, 2019 at 4:02 pm #251669 International DebrisParticipant Cat and Lister probably sent Rimmer because they didn’t want to be stuck in a room with him for longer than absolutely necessary. July 2, 2019 at 6:45 pm #251725 BezzyParticipant What is Listers goal these days? His plan was to return to Earth but is it still his goal? Or is Lister on the hunt for Kochanski these days? It’s not really specified anywhere. July 2, 2019 at 7:37 pm #251726 BezzyParticipant What happened to Snacky? July 2, 2019 at 11:51 pm #251750 DaveParticipant Dead July 3, 2019 at 12:11 am #251752 Ben SaundersParticipant Red Dwarf is so big and Snacky is so slow that he could be roaming the ship desperately trying to find somebody for years July 3, 2019 at 9:54 pm #251789 Pete Part ThreeParticipant How do you ride a horse? July 4, 2019 at 12:00 am #251791 siParticipant Carefully. July 4, 2019 at 7:13 am #251804 By Jove its holmesBlocked Hey! Let’s hit it and see what happens! July 4, 2019 at 7:16 am #251806 DaveParticipant Sir Danzig?
